Free Beading Tutorials
This is a page for beginners. When I have started to bead I realized that I have a big handicap…I really cannot read beading diagrams. That is why my beading tutorials are: easy to follow; with color photos of each step; with written description of each photo/step. This are some basic stitches but don’t forget to search in my shop for more and other free beading tutorials.
Peyote Stitch – this is the most used, most versatile, and usually the first stitch that is taught to the new beadweaver. Brick Stitch – when finished, this stitch looks just like peyote stitch…turned on its side. I learned brick stitch first (after getting frustrated with peyote). After I learned brick I went back and learned peyote. Square Stitch – a very strong stitch because you go through the beads so many times! Hard to cut apart for the same reason.
